ATY 24hr

I have signed up for Across The Years 24hr race on December 31st.

My primary motivation is to avoid having to go to any New Years Eve parties. Suffering with good people beats relaxing with drunken jerks any day of the week.
See you all in Phoenix in a few weeks!

Far more interesting, however, is that Claude Grant has revealed that the Wasatch 100 Race Committee will meet next week to examine the possibility of raising the limit for the number of [...]

I’d almost call this one a steeplechase. If you like the Whasatch Steeplechase or [...]

Brian Beckstead finished 3rd and posted a great race report here. (Could it have been the still unreleased Lone Peak shoes? We’ll have to wait until spring to know for sure!)
Congrats to all [...]

At a small race only a few runners come through every hour but at large runs an aid station can get [...]

Pony Express 100

He doesn’t know it, but Davy is the person who got me inspired to take up this crazy sport and I’d do almost anything to help him out. Besides, what could be [...]
